From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Description of problem: See upstream bug http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136406 GStreamer, starting right before the 0.7.5 release, changed the location of the gconf keys for GStreamer, adding versioning so that multiple versions of the runtime libraries could be installed at once with different settings. /system/gstreamer/default/audiosink -> /system/gstreamer/default/0.7/audiosink and so on. Unfortunately, gstreamer-properties, in the gnome-media package, hardcodes in the location of the GConf keys, rather than using the API provided with GStreamer. As a result, gstreamer-properties doesn't actually change any settings with gstreamer 0.7.5 and up, since it changes the wrong GConf keys. The right way to solve this is to change gstreamer-properties to use GStreamer's API. A quick hack is possible, by changing the hardcoded values, although this won't work with gstreamer before 0.7.5, and will have to be changed when GStreamer moves to 0.8.0 In summary, with current Rawhide, gstreamer-properties doesn't do anything. gstreamer's defaults can still be changed with gconf-editor, but that's really not recommended for average users. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-media-2.5.4-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. gstreamer-properties 2. try to change a setting Actual Results: No effect on GStreamer defaults. Expected Results: Changing a setting affects the GStreamer defaults. Additional info:
Created attachment 98347 [details] Hack to make it work with gstreamer 0.7.5 and up
Fixed upstream in gnome-media-2.5.5, and thus it will make it in to FC2 before release.
